About the Doi Inthanon Tour In Chiang Mai

After a scenic drive through the countryside of Northern Thailand, visit two stunning waterfalls in the Doi Inthanon National Park tour, the Sirithan Waterfall and Wachirathan Waterfall. These cascades are beautiful all year round but roar with life during the rainy season. Continue on and meet members of a local Karen hill tribe village. Watch them weave cotton, scarves and quilts, admire their rice paddies while sipping coffee from a local tribe.

After a satisfying lunch beside a waterfall, take an easy hike on the nature trail to Doi Inthanon Summit, which is the highest mountain in Thailand at a height of 2,565 meters, often called “the roof of Thailand“. Next, visit the Twin Pagodas, built in honor of the King and Queen of Thailand. These mirrored buildings sit atop the mountain and are surrounded by manicured flower gardens, offering stunning views of the valley below.

This Doi Inthanon full-day trip ends with a visit to the King’s Royal Projects. Opium was once harvested on the mountainside but now more sustainable farming techniques are being practiced. There you’ll find a coffee plantation, cool-weather fruits and vegetables, well as exotic flower gardens.
